Definitions
- This invention is concerned with improvements in or relating to optical whitening agents, and is more particularly concerned with certain new compounds for use as optical Whitening agents.
- Optical whitening agents are substances which in general absorb light in the ultra-violet range of the spectrum and emit in the visible spectrum, usually in the violet to blue-green. Thus, the fluorescence of such compounds when applied to white material tends to counteract any yellow or grey tone.
- Optical whitening agents have found extensive use in the treatment of textiles to counteract the yellow or offwhite colour which white textiles possess after repeated washing. More recently, however, optical whitening agents have also been used for incorporation in colourless or white synthetic plastic or polymeric materials. Such materials generally have a dull or off-White appearance which can be greatly improved by incorporating minute quantities of optical whitening agents.

3,063,994 Patented Nov. 13, 1962 ice 3,063,994 OPTICAL WHITENING AGENTS OF THE STILBENE TRHAZOLE TYPE Dennis Arthur William Adams, Leeds, and Asim Kumar Sarlrar, Castleford, England, assignors to Hiclrson & Welch Limited, Castleford, England, a British company No Drawing. Filed Feb. 25, 1958, Ser. No. 717,532
Claims priority, application Great Britain Mar. 1, 1957 10 Claims. (Cl. 260-240) This invention is concerned with improvements in or relating to optical whitening agents, and is more particularly concerned with certain new compounds for use as optical Whitening agents.
Optical whitening agents are substances which in general absorb light in the ultra-violet range of the spectrum and emit in the visible spectrum, usually in the violet to blue-green. Thus, the fluorescence of such compounds when applied to white material tends to counteract any yellow or grey tone.
Optical whitening agents have found extensive use in the treatment of textiles to counteract the yellow or offwhite colour which white textiles possess after repeated washing. More recently, however, optical whitening agents have also been used for incorporation in colourless or white synthetic plastic or polymeric materials. Such materials generally have a dull or off-White appearance which can be greatly improved by incorporating minute quantities of optical whitening agents.
Optical whitening agents used to improve the appearance of colourless or white plastic materials should have the following characteristics:
(a) They should be compatible with the polymers, plasticisers etc, comprising the plastic material i.e. from a solid or liquid solution therewith.
(b) They should have a high intensity of fluorescence in such solutions and should not impart any undesirable "isible colour to the plastic material.
() They should be stable to the action of light.
(d) They should be stable to high temperatures and pressures such as are required for the processing of plastic materials.
We have now found that compounds of the general formula:
in which R is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group, Y is one of the following groups, that is:
a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group,
a monoor di-substituted amino group,
a group NHCONHZ (in which Z is hydrogen or an alkyl or aryl group),
an alkyl group,
an alkylaryl group,
an aryl group,
and in which A represents one of the following residues:
CH2 R2hIN W t... x I
where R and R are hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical which may be substituted, constitute improved optical whitening agents for plastics and polymeric material from the point of view of the above-stated desiderata.
Accordingly the invention com-prises as new compounds, the compounds of Formula I above.
Where Yin the general Formula I is an aryloxy group, it is preferred that the aryloxy group be a substituted or unsubstituted p1 enoxy group, any substituents being nonchromophoric. Preferred substituted phenoxy groups are alkyl, for example methyl, and halogen, for example, chlorine, substituted phenoxy groups. Further preferred compounds are those in which Y is a monoor di-alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or aryl substituted amino group, for example a dimethylamino, diethylamino, ,B-hydroxyethylarnino, dipropylamino, dibutylamiuo, mono-octylamino, monodecylamino, mono-anilido or N-methyl-anilido group. The group Y can also advantageously be a cyclohexylamino, morpholino or piperidino group, or the residue of urea or a substituted derivative thereof, for example, mono-methylurea. Finally the group Y can also advantageously be a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group. Preferred substituted phenyl groups are alkyl, for example methyl, and halogen, for example chlorine, substituted phenyl groups.
In compounds of Formula I above in which A represents residue 1, that is an acenaphtheno group, this may, if desired be substituted with a non polar substituent, for example, an alkoxy, advantageously a methoxy or ethoxy group or with an alkyl group or a halogen atom. The substituent R is preferably hydrogen or an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group and R is preferably hydrogen or an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, hydroxyalkyl or polyethanoxy group. Preferred groups are lower alkyl, e.g. methyl or ethyl or aryl groups. Where A represents residue 3 above that is a pyrazole residue the group R is preferably an aryl group, in particular a phenyl or substituted phenyl group such as a chlorophenyl or sulphophenyl group or an alkylaryl or substituted alkylaryl group, e.g. a tolyl or substituted tolyl group. Where the group R is substituted the substituent or substituents are preferably non-polar groups, such as halogen atoms, for example chlorine atoms or lower allroxy groups, for example methoxy or ethoxy groups. Preferably such substituents are present in the ortho or para position to the side chain.
It will be appreciated that since the compounds according to the invention are intended for use as optical whitening agents, they must, as is well known, possess no substantial colour.
Specific new compounds according to the invention which are preferred because of their properties are those the preparation of which is described in any one of Examples 1-3 and 6-22 herein.
The compounds according to the invention can be applied to plastic material in any desired Way, for example by incorporation therein during production or during subsequent working up. They may also be incorporated in preparations for treatment of plastic or polymeric material, for example in washing agents for the Washing of synthetic fibres.
The invention thus provides compositions for the treatment of plastics or polymeric material comprising one or more compounds of the general Formula I above. The invention also comprises plastics or polymeric mateaoeasea feature of the invention therefore we provide a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula:
sotY I (where R, Y and A have the above-stated meanings) which comprises oxidising an o-amino azo dye of the general formula:
SO2Y II (Where R, Y and A have the meanings stated above). Alternatively compounds of the general Formula I may be prepared by oxidising an o-amino azo dye of the SOaH III (in which R and A have the meanings above specified) followed by conversion of the group SO H to SO Y (where Y has the meaning specified above).
It is preferred to employ a mild oxidising agentv for the above oxidations, for example copper sulphate in diethanolamine; cuprammonium sulphate or copper sulphate in the form of a soluble complex with pyridine may also be used, as well as an alkali-metal hypochlorite, for example sodium hypochlorite. Thionyl chloride or sulphuryl chloride may also be used.
The compounds of general Formulas II and III may be prepared in any convenient manner, such as, for exsimple, by diazotising a compound of the formula:
(where R has the above-stated meaning and in which C is SG H, or SO Y where Y has the meaning specified above), and coupling the diazotised compound with a compound of the formula I-I NA (where A has the above stated meaning). The intermediate diazo compound may be isolated if desired.
The compounds of Formula IV can themselves be prepared in any convenient manner. Thus, for example they may be prepared by condensing benzaldehyde with a compound of the formula Hit-Q-NO 2 I SOzY final product. This conversion is preferably effected by first producing the corresponding sulphonyl chloride and then reacting the sulphonyl chloride to replace the chlorine atom with a group Y as specified herein.
As examples of such reactions may be mentioned the reaction of the sulphonyl chloride with an amine, for example aniline, to form the anilide; the reaction of the sulphonyl chloride with an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g. benzene or toluene in the presence of a Fricdel-Crafts catalyst to form the sulphone; and the reaction of the sulphonyl chloride with a phenol or cresol to form the ester.
The sulphonyl chloride used as starting material may be prepared in any suitable manner for example by heating the parent sulphonic acid with PQCl or PCl in chlorobenzene, or with thionyl chloride.
It will thus be appreciated that in general it is possible when preparing the new compounds according to the invention to introduce the group Y at any convenient stage in the production of the compounds. Thus, one may either introduce the group Y as a last stage in the production of the new compounds by reacting the corresponding sulphonyl chloride with a desired compound or one may start with a compound containing the group SO Y for example with a compound having either the general Formula III or IV set out above.
In order that the invention may be further understood, the following examples are given by way of illustration only:
